- Scenario 1: Language Arts/History
Written:
Mr. Harris is a 8th grade History teacher and is currently teaching a unit on the Civil War. He is in a 1:1 classroom and is starting the unit by having his students find, read, and share original civil war documents written by Union or Confederate soldiers at the start of the war (appropriate digital tools/resources). He has several students in his room that are sight impaired, having reading comprehension difficulties, or have auditory processing problems. To help the students who are sight impaired, he shows students how they can enlarge the type on their computer screens (equitable access). Additionally, he shows all students how they can highlight given text on their computers and have the computer read the text back to them. The computer voice isn't perfect, but he shows his students how they can speed up or slow down the reading speed so that they can best understand it (differentiation).

"...the stampede became even more frightful" - Battle of Bull Run
Samuel J. English was a Corporal in Company D of the Second Rhode Island Volunteers. Shortly after the battle he wrote his mother a letter describing his experience. We join his story in the early morning hours before the battle:
"Sunday, the 21st about 2 o'clock the drums beat the assembly, and in ten minutes we were on our march for Bull Run having heard the enemy were waiting to receive us, our troops then numbering 25 or 30 thousand which were divided into three columns ours under Col Hunter taking the right through a thick woods. About eleven o'clock as our pickets were advancing through the woods a volley was poured in upon them from behind a fence thickly covered with brush; the pickets after returning the shots returned to our regiment and we advanced double quick time yelling like so many devils."
